FAQs
Is the watch waterproof?
It is water-resistant up to 50 meters, which is suitable for daily use, hand washing, or rain, but it should not be submerged during swimming or diving.
What is the case size?
The case measures 40mm in diameter.
Does the strap come in other materials?
The Q Continental featured here comes with a leather strap; however, the Q Continental collection offers various colorways and strap styles.
How do I activate the night light?
Simply press the crown inward toward the case to activate the INDIGLO illumination.
How often does the battery need changing?
Battery life varies based on usage of the INDIGLO feature, but generally lasts several years under normal conditions.
Troubleshooting
The watch is not running
Check if the crown is fully pushed into the case. If it still does not move, the battery may require replacement at a professional jeweler.
INDIGLO is not activating
Ensure the crown is fully pressed in; INDIGLO typically functions only when the crown is in the standard running position.
Minor scratches on the crystal
Use a specialized acrylic watch crystal polish and a soft cloth to gently buff out superficial scratches.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Elegant vintage-inspired 1970s design
- Excellent low-light visibility via INDIGLO

- Balanced 40mm case size fits most wrists
Cons
- Acrylic crystal is more prone to scratches than mineral or sapphire

- Leather strap requires care to maintain appearance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set the time, pull the crown out to the furthest position and rotate it until the hands indicate the correct time, then push the crown back in. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain the water-resistance rating.
Care instructions include cleaning the case and crystal periodically with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. If the leather strap becomes damp, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. To maintain the integrity of the acrylic crystal, avoid contact with harsh chemicals or solvents, and consider using an acrylic polish compound if minor surface scuffs appear over time.
